Back to the 70s: My Wife is Both Fierce and Crazy

Chapter 175 Little Golden Power
A few months later, Li Dashu wanted to bring his poor sister and niece back to stay for a few days so that he could fill their stomachs.

Unexpectedly, when he went to pick them up, he not only failed to meet them, but also learned that his sister and niece were missing. The man's side said that the two had gone up the mountain and been eaten by wolves.

But these words could not convince Li Dashu. He led his brothers to search the mountain, but naturally returned empty-handed.

Later, they brought their relatives and friends to their home to interrogate them. The man's side was even more shameless, saying that Li Damei had run away with a stranger with her child.

It escalated quickly, and the two sides fought fiercely.

The matter eventually escalated to the level of the commune, and after mediation by the commune, the two families made peace.

But the Li family was still looking for someone, so Li Dashu went directly to the town and reported it to the police.

Because of the involvement of the town's public security bureau, the two villages became notorious in the commune and were often reprimanded by the commune.

But when someone goes missing, you have to look for them. So you search and search, but in the end you still can't find them.

The matter was thus mysteriously delayed; the person was not found, and there was no evidence of the husband's family committing the crime. It could be said that the person simply vanished without a trace.

Several years passed, and the Li family gave up. They had to make a living; they couldn't keep neglecting their family just to look for someone.

Because her daughter and granddaughter went missing, Li Damei's mother cried until she went blind, and she passed away two years ago.

Just as the brigade leader was speaking, Li Dashu arrived with the brigade leader's son.

Upon seeing a room full of police officers, Li Dashu stopped in his tracks. Then, as if thinking of something, he quickly strode into the main room.

"Hello, officers. Did you come to see me because you have news about my sister?" Li Dashu's eyes were red and his body was trembling, showing how agitated he was.

Xiao Jianwen stood up and came to Li Dashu. "Hello, Comrade Li. We are here about your sister's case. Please don't get excited. Come and sit down."

Xiao Jianwen helped the person sit down between himself and Yu Yang, then looked at the captain.

The captain understood Xiao Jianwen's meaning and said to his son, "Your wife called you just now, go and see what's wrong?"

This was a way to get people away, and the captain understood.

After everyone left, leaving behind Li Dashu, Bai Jing and Li Siyuan took out their notebooks and began to take notes.

Bai Jing instructed Xiao Jin to exert its power and directly probe Li Dashu.

As Li Dashu's memories ended, all the news from Xiao Jin's side also entered Bai Jing's mind.

After receiving the message and comparing it with what Li Dashu had said, Bai Jing realized that she needed to go to the village where the victim lived.

After all, there was nothing wrong with Li Dashu. What angered Bai Jing the most was that Xiao Jin's information was that Li Damei had been murdered.

This also proves that the mother and daughter were not truly missing, but rather dead.

Thinking of this, Bai Jing closed her notebook without saying a word, and listened to Brother Xiao and Brother Yu comforting and trying to get information out of Li Dashu.

Until I left the village, Li Family Village remained exactly the same.

On the way back to the commune, Bai Jing stopped her bicycle.

“I think there’s something wrong with the Zhao family. I don’t know if Li Damei’s husband is really unaware or just pretending. I think he should be thoroughly investigated.” When Bai Jing thought about how Li Damei was murdered, the first person she thought of was her husband.

Seeing her stop, the other two also stopped. "Xiao Jing, did you discover something?" It was Li Siyuan who spoke. The two were familiar with each other, so they addressed each other more casually.

Xiao Jianwen and Yu Yang both called her Bai Jing, as did the newly joined Li Lei.

Bai Jing nodded. "Do you really think this is a disappearance? Come on, let's make an assumption." Bai Jing analyzed the information Xiao Jin had given her and explained it to everyone.

Then he would state his conjecture.

"When did Li Dashu discover that Li Damei and her daughter were missing? And considering the Zhao family's statement, don't you think there's anything wrong with the Zhao family?"

After listening to Bai Jing's words, everyone fell into deep thought.

First of all, the timeline doesn't match. No matter how much the Zhao family dislikes this mother and daughter, they wouldn't just disappear for days without asking about them, would they?

They even said she ran off with some random guy. If she could really run away, why didn't she do it sooner?

Therefore, there is something wrong with the Zhao family.

“Bai Jing is right. It seems we’ll have to bring the commune personnel with us when we go to Zhao Family Village,” Xiao Jianwen said with a serious expression, realizing a possibility.

Yu Yang nodded and said, "Brother Xiao is right. If that's the case, we probably won't be able to accomplish anything with just a few of us. It's better to bring people from the commune with us than to just go into the village like this."

He knew how united the villagers were these days.

If there's a sensible leader, that's fine, but the problem is that the person leading the village is someone who doesn't understand the law.

"Then let's do as Brother Xiao says. It's late today, let's go back and rest first, and go to the local police station to find someone first thing tomorrow morning."

Bai Jing pushed off with her feet, and the bicycle shot forward.

The next day, the five men went to the local police station, explained their purpose, and then asked the local police to bring weapons and accompany them into Zhao Family Village.

The local police department knew about the disappearance case from years ago, and Bai Jing's excuse to them was to clear up old cases, so they cooperated very well.

And so, he led the five people directly to Li Damei's husband's house.

When Bai Jing and the others arrived, they saw an old woman playing with a five-year-old child in the courtyard. She called the child "baby" and "darling," clearly showing her great affection for the child.

The Zhao family only has one son, Li Damei's husband. Presumably, this child is the son born to Zhao Yong's second wife.

"Is Zhao Xiangui home?" the security team member called out to the people inside.

Upon seeing that the person was wearing a police uniform, the old woman visibly trembled. Not only that, her gaze also involuntarily drifted towards a lush peach tree outside the courtyard.

However, no one paid much attention to her subconscious little movement, only thinking that it was a subconscious fear of seeing the police.

The old woman quickly calmed down, forced a smile, and said to everyone, "The police officers are here! Come on in, come on in!" She warmly invited everyone into the house.

She glanced at the pistols tucked into everyone's waistbands, and her body trembled again.

She hugged her beloved grandson tightly.

"The old man's at home, he's still too young to work, and there's no work to be done in the fields." The old woman was quite eloquent.

Bai Jing has already gotten Xiao Jin to work, and it has to be said that with Xiao Jin's help, getting things done is incredibly convenient.

Their entrance was quite loud, naturally alerting the neighbors. The people inside the main room also heard the commotion, and Zhao Xiangui, the father, came out to greet them with his son.

Upon seeing the group of people in police uniforms, Zhao's father clearly had the same expression as the old woman in the courtyard earlier, and glanced at the peach tree outside the courtyard in the same way.

"Why are you here, officers? Come on in, it's windy and cold outside." Zhao Xiangui's eyes flashed, and he immediately invited everyone inside to warm up.

After the Zhao family members had all been formally recognized by Bai Jing, Xiao Jin's side received more and more information.

Bai Jing felt a sudden headache, but fortunately Li Siyuan helped her up, allowing her to regain her balance. "Thanks, Brother Li."

"It's okay, just be careful, there are a lot of people."

Today, Xiao Jianwen and Yu Yang were still in charge of this matter, while Bai Jing watched and listened from behind.

The same applies to Li Siyuan and Yang Lei; after all, they were the youngest of the three in the group.

While listening to their casual conversation, Bai Jing had already gathered all the information in her mind.

She never imagined that the case of Li Damei's murder would turn out like this.

She glanced at the peach tree outside the courtyard; it was indeed being well cared for.

How could it not be good? The fat used below is human flesh. The Zhao family is truly despicable.

Damn.

Now that she knew the truth, Bai Jing had no intention of letting this family off the hook, so she nudged Brother Xiao, who was sitting in front of her.

Xiao Jianwen and Bai Jing had worked together on missions, so he naturally knew about her amazing abilities.

He turned to look at Bai Jing and immediately understood the meaning in her eyes.

"Here's the thing, don't be nervous. The case of your daughter-in-law and granddaughter disappearing eight years ago has been pending. This time, the town is cracking down on crime, and they've discovered quite a few backlogged cases. We're just here to go through the formalities. If there's no further progress, we'll close the case."

After Xiao Jianwen explained his purpose, he began to exchange a few pleasantries with the Zhao family. The security team members were cooperating with the police officers, so they just listened without interrupting.

Upon hearing that it was for that matter, Zhao Xiangui became visibly nervous, and not only him, but the old woman who followed him in was also nervous.

"Get rid of them, get rid of them! They ran away on their own, causing endless trouble in my home. They should have been eliminated a long time ago!" The old woman shouted loudly, perhaps out of guilt.

When everyone turned their gaze to her, she hid behind her beloved grandson in her arms like a quail.

Seeing his wife so useless, Zhao Xiangui glared at her and said, "What business is it of yours? Go and pour water for everyone." Fearing that his wife couldn't handle the situation, Zhao Xiangui considered kicking her out.

Xiao Jianwen is a veteran police officer, how could he let this happen? "Uncle, don't be angry, don't be angry. We're just here to go through the procedures again. Auntie is also a member of the Zhao family, and we'll have to question her later too. Let Auntie sit here, so we don't have to look for her later."

After he finished speaking, Yu Yang added, "It would be good to have all the family members from back then come over. After all, so many years have passed, and no one wants to be burdened by this matter forever."

"By the way, Uncle Zhao has a daughter, right? Let her come back too." Although Yu Yang couldn't understand the subtle actions between Xiao Jianwen and Bai Jing, he knew that the two were working together, so he said what he was about to say.

With the security team on duty, the Zhao family didn't dare to go too far. However, when they heard that their daughter was to be allowed to return home, Zhao Xiangui and Zhao Xushi became extremely nervous.

Judging from their appearance, even a fool could see that there was something fishy going on between them.

However, no one exposed it.

Let's wait until they call the person back first.

After their initial tension subsided, they found that everyone was still getting along well, so they relaxed.

"Alright, but it's a busy time during the New Year. I don't know if my daughter is home. I'll have Zhao Yong go check on her," Zhao Xiangui said with a smile, but he told his son to go and call her.

The security team wasn't stupid. Upon hearing this, the two men stood up. "Okay, we'll go with them. Once they're back, we'll go through the procedures. The sooner we finish, the sooner we'll be done. It's very cold, and we want to get off work as soon as possible."

The security team member who stood up spoke with displeasure, as if he wouldn't have come if it weren't for the rules.

But those in the know understand that this is what happened to their captain.

If something were discovered, and it was discovered before the town's police, then... they dared not think further.

Zhao Xiangui didn't think that way. He was going with the family management team because he knew his daughter's character better than anyone and was afraid she would say something reckless.

But I can't not go.

"Well, it's a bit far, how can I trouble you two security officers?" Zhao Xiangui still wanted to try his best.

But he forgot that the people who came today didn't come on foot, but by bicycle.

What's there to be afraid of, no matter how far the road is, with a bicycle? You won't get tired.

"Haha, Uncle Zhao, don't worry, we have bicycles, so it'll be faster for them to pick up the people." Yu Yang stopped Zhao Xiangui from trying to stop him.

He gave the security team a wink, and then told them to take their men out.

Zhao Yong has nothing to fear if he has done nothing wrong. His wife is more capable than his previous one, and he is very satisfied with her. Naturally, he doesn't think that closing the case is a bad thing.

So he was more eager than anyone else, saying, "Dad, don't worry, with the police officers here, I'll bring my little sister back soon."

Looking at his son's silly expression, Zhao Xiangui had an urge to beat him to death.

With so many people around, he couldn't say anything. "Alright, go and come back quickly. If your little sister isn't home, come back soon. She was just a girl back then, she doesn't know much." He still reluctantly gave his silly son a few more instructions.

Zhao Yong's wife was also happy that the matter was settled. She smiled as she saw her husband off, repeatedly telling him to be careful and not to catch a cold, showing him the utmost care.

It has to be said that sometimes a person's ability to live a good life has a lot to do with their personality.

If it were Li Damei, she would never have treated Zhao Yong like that.

Seeing that everything was arranged, Xiao Jianwen pushed Bai Jing forward. "Uncle Zhao, this is Bai Jing, our record and verification officer. She will be conducting further questioning on you. Don't be nervous, it's just a formality."

Upon seeing Bai Jing's delicate face, Zhao Xiangui visibly breathed a sigh of relief. What kind of skills could a little girl like her possibly possess?

He asked, "What can a little girl like me possibly do to me?"
Little did he know that Bai Jing possessed top-notch interrogation skills, making her capable of dealing with even external enemies, let alone someone like him, a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.

Bai Jing's interrogation officially began, with the Zhao family members surrounded in the middle, so that no one could escape.

However, the Zhao family did not notice this arrangement.

"Hello, Comrade Zhao Xiangui. I am Bai Jing, an interrogator from the town's public security bureau. I will now formally begin the interrogation of you."

After Bai Jing finished speaking, she began the interrogation: "Where were you when Li Damei and her daughter disappeared?"

"Did you have any conflicts with your family at the time? Or rather, did you have any conflicts with Zhao Yong?"

As problems piled up, Zhao Xiangui was clearly losing control.

He became noticeably slower to answer some key questions, but Bai Jing wasn't in a hurry.

Mark the question, and then ask it again later.

Next up was Zhao Xu Shi, Zhao's mother. Her answers to the questions were somewhat nonsensical, but Bai Jing wasn't angry. She marked the question and moved on to the next one.

They didn't even spare the children.

Sorry, I drank too much yesterday and forgot the time. Happy New Year everyone!
